Overall, I am liking my experience at this school. Like with any other school, your experience is going to be what you make of it. There are a lot of resources to help you out and most are made known to the students but you have to make the effort to use them. You might come across some not so good teachers but most of them care if you are learning and will answer any question you have but again you have to be willing to put in the work. It's a pretty large school with many students, so you won't have much trouble finding your people. Overall 8/10, would recommend.
My experience in this school was nice, I really liked all my teachers this year and like the way they all teach this year, I also like the tutoring this school offers, and the amount of clubs and fun activities they offer. I felt very supported here at Lehman.
